SB 2304, the "Tennessee Fluoride-Free Water Act," prohibits public water systems from adding fluoride (including sodium fluoride, fluorosilicic acid, or related compounds) to drinking water and bans the sale of bottled water containing added fluoride. It also requires public water systems to test monthly for naturally occurring fluoride exceeding EPA safety limits, take corrective action, and notify customers, while mandating clear labeling on bottled water with natural fluoride levels above 0.7 mg/L. The bill directly affects public water providers, bottled water sellers, and retailers, with civil penalties of up to $5,000 per day for violations. The legislation is pending in the Tennessee Senate and has not yet become law.
